The Friends of the Wellesley Free Libraries is pleased to announce that the featured speaker of the 2011 Arnold Lecture is noted art historian Gail Levin.
Gail will be speaking about Lee Krasner, perhaps best known as the wife of Jackson Pollock, yet a most significant, independent and talented artist in her own right. Gail's dynamic and eye-opening book, Lee Krasner: A Biography, was published this March, and is the first biography ever written about this important 20th century artist. Free and open to the public. Copies of her book will be available for purchase at the Wellesley Free Library, courtesy of Wellesley Books, and Gail will be available to sign books after the lecture.
